Mr. Krystinik. Now that you mentioned to me that he isn't supposed to own that gun, it is possible that he did say that, but the way I remember is that he said "He is not supposed to have a gun."
Mr. Liebeler. Did you get the impression at that time that Michael had any foreknowledge of Oswald's possible involvement?
Mr. Krystinik. None at all. I felt it hit him as a big shock.
Mr. Liebeler. Now you said that you were the first one to mention Oswald's name?
Mr. Krystinik. Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler. The basic reason you mentioned it was because you had associated his name with the Texas School Book Depository?
Mr. Krystinik. Yes, sir.
Mr. Liebeler. Is there any other reason why you thought of Oswald in connection with the assassination?
Mr. Krystinik. Oh, it might possibly be; I can't really tell you, it was all just everything was going that way, and it was a trying thing of oppression and worry at that particular time.
It may be that he is the only Communist I have ever been introduced to, that I knew was possibly a Communist or Marxist, or whatever they are, and he was the only villain I could think of at the time, possibly. And I didn't really feel that he was a villain. I didn't really feel it was him, but he was the only person I knew connected with the Communist Party, and if the Communist Party should be associated with something, his was the name that came to my mind, possibly.
